Country Day Nurseries

The app is very useful with general updates such as nappy changes, food they are eaten throughout the day and nap times, messaging through the app is seamless and a great tool for parents. Highly recommend!

We spent ages looking at nurseries around Andover and absolutely loved the outside space at Country Day Nursery. It's clean inside and out and the staff really do some amazing stuff with the children. Our little girl was a bit needy at times when first starting and also the transition into Little Acorns but the staff have been so supportive and within days our little girl is now super excited every morning she goes in.

A few of my friends have children in other nurseries and it's clear this place is a winner particularly with the app they use to update parents in real time about sleep times, nappy changes and explanations of what food they've had throughout the day. If we've ever had any issues they have been addressed quickly and efficiently either by phone call or the App.

Highly recommended!

My little one stared Country Days at 9 months old. She absolutely loves it! Amazing outdoors area, lots of messy play which my little one especially loves and great food menu. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The app is great and helped put my mind at ease.

My children have been very happy here and we have been delighted with the care they have received and the service provided to us as parents.

My three children have attended Country Day Nursery, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The nursery communicates with us daily, providing thoughtful updates on the children's exciting activities and progress. Our children truly thrive in the nurturing environment, thanks to the loving care and dedication of the entire nursery staff. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about each child's happiness, well-being, and development.

The nursery grounds are beautifully maintained, and it's wonderful to see that new additions and improvements are continuously being made. The catering at the nursery is also fantastic-the children enjoy a varied diet that includes foods from around the world, encouraging them to try new spices and flavors and develop healthy eating habits from a young age.

We've been very impressed with the standard of care given at Country Days, our son has been there since he was a year old. We've been very impressed with each of the rooms and the age appropriate support and variety of activities available. They also give lots of opportunities for stay and play/special event days for parents and extended families to attend. The management/room staff have been supportive when we've had queries to raise, offered advice and creative ideas to first time parents allowing a more streamlined approach to childcare. We also love the woodland setting! I'd have no hesitation in recommending.

Our daughter started at the nursery in 2020 and has flourished due to the care and support she has received. She has loved exploring the various outside areas, in particular the pirate ship, and getting to grips with nature. She has also loved the French lessons in big acorns.The staff are great with the children looking for new ways to enhance the children's learning each week. Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Country Day Nursery and will be heading to school in September, and I'm sure she will have many happy memoriesof her time at nursery. Thank you, everyone, at Country Day for making her learning experience so special. We would definitely recommend Country Day Nursery to friends and family in future.

My little boy has now been at Country Day for 8 months and absolutely loves it. He started at 9 months old and the staff have been absolutely amazing at reassuring me and keeping me up to date about his day. They are always doing a variety of activities and my little one has been showing lots of new skills he's learnt there. I couldn't recommended this nursery enough, it's met my expectations and more.

Country Day has been part of our family for 5 years, seeing both my children through. We have had a particularly tricky time personally and the nursery couldn't have been more supportive. Our child now has an EHCP, which was dealt with fantastically by the staff. My children have been very happy, supported and have learnt incredibly well. Both children have been well prepared for school and we will be very sad to leave this year due to our daughter going to school. I know I will keep in contact with staff however.

My son absolutely loves this nursery. He is so excited in the mornings to get there and rushes in as soon as he arrives. The staff have always been so kind and reassuring. Especially when he first started as I was nervous about him starting nursery and returning to work. The activities they do with him are so varied and he spends a lot of time outside. I can't praise the team there highly enough.

Would absolutely recommend this nursery. Both of my daughters have attended from around 11 months old and have both thrived there. The setting is brilliant and a lot of focus on being outdoors, staff are always friendly and helpful!

The nursery has the most beautiful setting in woodland, the food they offer is fantastic and the staff are very approachable. I would highly recommend the nursery to others and will be sending our other daughter too.

We love this nursery! The whole team are amazing and you can tell that all the staff have so much passion for their jobs. They care for the children and the families. Our little boy started in Little Acorns and when it was time for him he moved to the next room, Big Acorns, which was a bit of a rocky transition for him, but all the staff really helped him settle in and staff from his previous room would encourage and help him too and now he just loves it! We both are not ready for our Country Days journey to end when he starts school this year. I can't speak highly enough of the nursery. The outside spaces are just amazing for the children and the activities that they do.

We are so happy with Country Day Nurseries. Our little one absolutely loves it. The days are jam-packed with really exciting and fun activities. My daughter is currently in Big Acorns and I feel that they are preparing her wonderfully for school in the near future. She is learning how to be social, how to read and count, how to be independent - but most importantly how to enjoy herself and have fun. She always talks highly of the adults in the room - and our experience with the adults who work there has been fab too. I love their outdoor space and the fact that they get the children outside every day. I have been really impressed with the number of extra opportunities for parents and families to come and visit and get involved. I have already started the process of enrolling my second child even though it's a little way off yet. Highly recommend!

We have been in 3 classes at Country Day and the activities in all have been fun, and interactive my daughter likes to recreate these at home. She learns a lot at nursery and often surprises me with a new developmental skill she's learnt over the week. In summer the children seem to go out at least once a week to other playgrounds and to see the ducks. Not to mention the all-year-round outside areas they use daily. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

Most definitely worth a visit!

My daughter absolutely loves going which I think speaks volumes! I've been impressed with Country Day throughout. When we first visited we loved the setting with woodland for the children to explore and found the team very friendly. On my first day of dropping my daughter off, the staff gave me a little goodie bag with some chocolate and tissues, demonstrating their empathetic approach to the children in their care and their families. The nursery runs events during the year which give families a chance to experience the nursery environment as well as parents' evenings. The leader of my daughter's room is knowledgeable and experienced. She regularly offers observations on development and ways that we can support her at home. My daughter is thrilled to see the staff each morning which sets my mind at ease and I would have no hesitation recommending Country Day Nurseries to others. A weekly newsletter from the manager is a nice touch too.

When viewing, we were impressed with the nursery - the outside space is amazing and the setting is beautiful. Unfortunately, I had to take my son out of Country Day after just 6 weeks. We had two incidents including my son being bitten (no one was aware how and when) and a forceable nappy change. During a Stay and Play session, I witnessed some staff being very negative towards the children. Resources in the room were broken or pieces missing and the room was not set up well for the children to play or extend their learning, e.g the role play area was cornered off, writing resources not available for children to select. The manager is great and she really helped my son to settle well, however, I could not ignore what I had seen and did not want my son in such a negative environment.

I can not talk more highly of Country Day Nurseries. My daughter has been going full-time since 11 months, is now 24 months and I can honestly say she has loved every single day. The staff are so caring, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They ensure the children spend adequate time outdoors, in the garden and exploring the woods. Sustainability and environment awareness are high on the agenda and the staff are always accommodating to specific needs. I feel my daughter's development has come on leaps and bounds, both in signing, speech and comprehension. The staff keep us updated with pictures, news and a detailed handover at the end of the day. A fantastic team and nursery overall.

As hard as it can be to leave your child with someone else whilst you are at at work, I have full confidence in the staff caring for my daughter whilst I am away and I know she is well looked after. She is well-fed with a variety of healthy meals/snacks, has numerous activities that offer her challenge and fun during the day and she gets a good amount of fresh air and exercise, playing outside, having PE lessons and exploring the woodland area. Staff are approachable and happy to offer support and advice when needed.
